Minecraft coding (also referred to as“Computer Programming with Minecraft” or “Minecraft Modding”), is a creative process performed by programmers to make changes to the Minecraft game.
At CodaKid, we teach students how to access Minecraft`s source code and edit it to create their own custom blocks, tools, biomes, weapons, worlds, enemies, and more. In fact, with enough knowledge, practice, and patience, they can modify the whole Minecraft game!
Coding with Minecraft introduces kids to the Java Programming language in a way that is fun, entertaining, and instantly gratifying. What’s great about it is that it doesn`t compromise the validity or integrity of the lesson, either. Minecraft coding for kids still covers important programming concepts such as:
- Conditionals
- Loops
- Variables
- Methods
- Arrays
- Switch statements
—and more. All while allowing your child to envision and create their own modifications to the Minecraft game.
